Overview

A guide to embracing color, encompassing both color theory and practical projects, for both beginners and confident crafters

Whether you are a beginner or more experienced, any stitching project can be enhanced by a well-chosen color palette. This book makes creating color palettes a fun and enjoyable part of the design process. It is divided into three parts: Understanding Colour; Feeling Colour and Stitching with Colour. The first two sections guide the reader through color theory as well as choosing color more instinctively. The five projects that are included will encourage the reader to explore color and build confidence through exercise and experiment. Inspirational photographs are accompanied by stitching illustrations and step-by-step photographs for the color choosing process as well as stitching projects.
